About the WADCR
Your Subtitle Goes HereWhat We Do
Designated Mental Health Professionals from around the state join the Washington Association of Designated Crisis Responders in order to belong to a professional group of colleagues who have similar professional goals. The association offers members a variety of opportunities and resources for providing for maintaining the highest standard of practice in their profession.
Stay Current
The association sponsors two conferences and academies each year, one in western and the other in eastern Washington.
Frontlines
Members receive the association’s bi-yearly publication, Frontlines, which is a rich resource for current articles and legal notes.
Legislative Updates
The association keeps members abreast of pending legislation which may impact their duties and attempts to have a representative at legislative hearings on bills which affect DCR’s.
Representation
The WADCR represents the profession to systems which interact with crisis services.
Persons who are not Designated Crisis Responders may join the WADCR. For example, attorneys, staff, and nursing home employees are among some of the persons working with DCR’s who often find it helpful to belong in order to stay current about the field.
Executive Committee
Join the WADCR
A person may join the Washington Association of Designated Crisis Responders at any time during the year. Any person attending one of the two annual conferences will automatically become a member of the Association and receive Frontlines issues. Membership is for twelve months.
